Sounds good how many gallons did you use?

That paint came out really good for roll on, will keep that on the back burner for when I'm at that stage, did you clear coat over it?

Tackled the passenger side ball joints these last 2 nights, Have to say what a pittta they were, After my c clamp would not tighten anymore i ended up heating, crc freeze off and nothing did the trick, Who would have knew a few hits on the side with a hammer would have did the trick :dunno: The drivers side should go more smoothly as i picked up a few tricks lol Removed both ball joints I even resulted to the grinder to help before the hammer trick Spicer Ball joints part # 706944 Won them in a auction on ebay for cheap $30.50 shipped ( lower joint is in the process of being installed, not in picture ) No too many of the install as it was pretty straight foward Also cleaned the inside of my axle tube, Alot of dirt and rust in there Should have it all buttoned up and finished by the weekend Previous total $2136.23 Passenger Spice Bal joints $30.50 Cost to date- $2166.73
